Help with Patricia Ryan's medical expenses

It is with immense sadness that we share that our beloved mother, Patricia Ryan, passed away on November 11th.

In 2016, Mom was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. After multiple surgeries and chemotherapy, she was pronounced cancer-free. However, in 2021 we discovered that her cancer had not only returned, but had spread. Mom fought tremendously hard over the past two and a half years with breast cancer that had metastasized to her lungs, sternum, and liver. In 2022, she was also diagnosed with colorectal cancer and underwent yet another major surgery. She went through intense chemotherapy over the past two and a half years, trying various treatments and regiments. The severity of the chemotherapy took a great toll on her body, but her amazing spirit, faith in God, and will to survive never wavered. In October, her breathing became increasingly impaired and she was ultimately hospitalized for two weeks in the ICU with pneumonia.

This loss has been unbelievably difficult and left a tremendous hole in our lives. Anyone who ever met our mother knew a truly loving, caring, generous, and funny soul. Mom loved her friends and family with all her heart. She was truly an angel here on Earth and is now without a doubt an angel in Heaven.

This is in no way easy for us to ask. As her family, we have started a fundraiser for help supporting us with a portion of the significant expenses associated with her illness over the past two and a half years and her passing.

During this difficult time, we are reaching out to our friends and loved ones for help.

If you are unable to donate, we completely understand and thank you for your prayers, love, and compassion.

With love and deep gratitude,

~ Jessica, Michael, and Bruce
